at the beginning

It's fun to sit back and watch something great start.  Like Warren's love of football and how proud he was that they won their first game on Saturday against Arvada.  How the parents all made a human tunnel for them to run through and more than one kid asked "did we win, coach?"  So cute.  We are at the beginning of a long journey through our kids' years of games, practices, scrimmages, team pictures, pancake breakfast fundraisers, and team meetings.  I am a happy passenger on the journey!

{A journey that started many many years ago, when Daddy himself was in peewee football}

{Can you see #7?}

{So amazed how well these kids actually played the game.}

{Warren even requested the under eye black stickers that come with a pencil to write on them.  Wants me to write his brothers' names on them for Friday's game! Cuteness overload...}

{This is not relevant at all, but Nolan fell asleep at the top of the stairs yesterday and so that is where he napped. He is low-key about his napping venues.}

Another beginning? Watching these two starts their journey towards marriage, as I got to take some engagement pictures at the Broadmoor last weekend of Aunt Jenn and her fiance, Mike.

{Love her hair piece!  And the candid moment here.}

{Check out her gorgeous sparkler!}

{It was surprisingly cold and windy at the Broadmoor that morning, but the water behind is such a great backdrop!}

{He's a lucky guy!}

{I can see the cute little kiddos already :)}

I think it is the start of something good...and maybe some cousins on the horizon? :)
